Villa Park’s 12th annual Summerfest opens Friday

Balloon hats like these kids are wearing are just one of the many fun things available as the community comes to downtown Villa Park at Ardmore and Park Blvd. by the Ruggard Gazebo for the 12th annual Summerfest. The “Date Night” Car Show takes place Friday from 6-11 p.m. when the beer garden opens up for the first time and music takes over the Main Stage. On Saturday, there will be activities for all ages including a bounce house, face painting, rides and attractions, as well as food, a business expo, a karate demonstration and a reptile show.
